James Walker

James endorses mallets by Mike Balter, using custom-made 124R mallets (with longer rattan handles) for his jazz vibraphone & marimba work, the Universal and Shadow series on concert marimba, and the 24R model on mallet synth.

James now endorses the Xylosynth, by Wernick Musical Instruments, Inc. He performs on the four-octave "Folding Four" model Mark V Xylosynth.

James has several other endorsement deals in the works - check back here soon for official announcements.
